Thomas Lockey, author of the only book pushing Yasuke = samurai crap, was found out to have been a wikipedia author who edited articles to push his book as a credible source. Was found out and has gone silent on social media (twitter.com)

This has sparked outrage in Japan. Lockey, a UK white man, wasn't just lying; he was supported and covered up by Nihon University. They allowed a scammer to gain prominence, and now everyone is distancing themselves as more information emerges. They truly wanted to erase history. Japan started a petition to demand Nihon University and Thomas Lockley to correct the misconceptions of Yasuke. The truth always wins.

Japan's universities are as screwed as ours it seems

Yasuke wasn't just not a samurai. He never even existed. This whole thing is a scam made by jesuits both historical jesuits and modern jesuits

It's possible that Japanese universities simply share the competitive publish-or-perish dynamic of Western universities and a black historical figure in feudal Japan was simply the kind of novelty that could garner attention. Which is still corrupt but it's par for the course unfortunately.

But I might just be coping here, maybe Japan's elite are as treasonous as ours.

Publish or perish is why they promote 80 hour works weeks in academia. Mostly sitting in an office.

I mean, its not hard to believe that the Jesuit priest had a black servant he called Yasuke in Japan.

But uh, this BS about him being a supposed samurai? Haha no

I had only heard of Yasuke once up until a few years ago and then all of a sudden Yasuke = Samurai seemed to blow up out of nowhere. The people who defend this game really twist themselves into knots justifying it. One of the people who originally worked on it said it was changed and you mean to tell me you sat down to work on a game based in Japan at that time period and this is what you came up with organically?

I don't get it. I know about that one English samurai but I don't feel any sort of pride or kinship even though he was objectively more of a samurai than a thousand Yasukes. Just because we have the same skin color doesn't make him "like me". If I found out he was never real and his entire existence was a massive British psy op I wouldn't feel much of anything.

Where abouts are you from country wise?

that one English samurai

If its England the reason for the difference is that you come from a country with a history dating back hundreds of years. The USA by comparison isn't even 300 years old. There are countless buildings in England older than that, and not just historic museums or castles, but some places people still live. A lot of Americans are desperate for some kind of family history because their nation is so young relative to others many have no lasting history or idea of their cultural roots. That ends up being even worse the further forward any particular individuals family will have arrived, which blacks are of particular note.

I'm American, so yes, there's a lack of national solidarity involved there. But Yasuke predates America too. He was African, not "black". Therefore American blacks should feel nothing about him the same way I feel about some foreigner with the same skin color as me.

I wouldn't mind if someone doxx this guy. There's already little bit of frustration growing inside me how there seems to be more coordinated attack on Japanese culture coming from the usual suspects. I hope Japanese government does something about this.

Saw an article yesterday about how the Japanese government was taking about banning the sell of the game in country. Apparently black samurai is not the only historical WRONG thing in game, including Chinese and Korean buildings in Kyoto. This alone would probably bankrupt them.

The Japanese government never said anything about banning it. It was a politician mentioning he might bring the issue of historical desecration to the Diet .

that's how retarded their employees are

They created this market. They operate in it. They attempt to profit from it. Other places don't have the same problem. This is a bullshit excuse.

only cared about filling in the DEI quotas

They only care about money. Why DEI quotas and money have anything to do with eachother, that's the fucking problem.

They already blacked Celtic and Nordic culture in past AC releases, but no one made a stink so Ubisoft got away with it.

Fuck them. Good for Japan standing up for their own history.

Imagine my total lack of shock or surprise. Sad thing is that even after finding out this is still going to be forced on Japan as their history and they won't fight back on it.
